Preschool

Preschool is an essential step on the path to kindergarten, with hands-on activities and planned cognitive learning experiences.

We offer a balance of freedom and instruction.

In the Preschool program, your child builds skills vital to success in kindergarten, but also gains respect for others, and a strong confidence in him or herself. Learning experiences develop literacy, mathematical thinking, problem-solving skills, and creativity.

Pre-K/K Prep

The Pre-K program builds on Preschool learning. We focus on problem solving, responsive listening, language usage, and social skills.

Significant developmental gains happen here.

Also, in Pre-K, Focus on Literacy! builds on and strengthens skills gained in Preschool. In-school and at-home activities are designed to improve your child’s literacy and cognition in areas such as vocabulary development and alphabet knowledge.
